I don't have a large Texas toothpick. Can't even find one.

I don't like how I can't get a hold of the nail notch on the skiner blade.

Takes guts to rework a collector knife.
But I want to be able to use it.

Yeah, I can find medium and small with no problem.
Most places seem to have the small toothpicks the most.

This is kinda what I'm talking about, only with stag or natural bone.
It would be nice to be able to clean my fingernails like Guido. :? :lol:

I bet that beautiful scrimshaw bone adds a bit to the price. Nice find.

I never got caught up with the Case "bug". During my early working knife years I bought a medium sized Old Timer Stockman and it's showing it's age. Picked up a beautiful imit. stag large Stockman by Camillus on sale once and had a nice Case mahogany colored bone Canoe model given to me. Then knife styles and tastes seemed to change to the old brass Bucks, Gerbers and Kershaws with locks. Now with a huge selection of designs out there and not needing one for work anymore, I can enjoy and carry whatever i want. Illinois even took the ban off of switchblades if you have a firearms owners id card.

My last two Case knives were for the kitchen. In the 50's? they made them from carbon steel and some models where then chromed. They are great for cubing potatoes as they don't stick to the blade as much. The bottom one is 6", harder to find, and has much of the chrome worn away. It rides in a sheath. The top one is in the kitchen and is more common at 7" long. They both have some sort of black phenolic handle..

Jesus replaces the old covenant and speaks to the believer the moral code of God by His Spirit directly to the heart. He is the eternal, everlasting revelation of God to mankind. In Him is both the knowledge of righteousness and the power to live right.
